The Hockey Show - Episode 684

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is getting ready for a big Halloween night with candy, World Series baseball, and some spooky music. Tonight, however, none of that applies as our hosts get to chat with a man who has earned awards of distinction in his field while getting to cover some of the biggest moments in a franchise's history. It isn't often we get to meet and chat with a man who has served his community and local NHL franchise for as long and as brilliantly as our guest has, but we'll meet him tonight on The Hockey Show at 5:30pm CT!

Tonight, Teebz and Jason are proud, honoured, privileged, humbled, and pleased to welcome 2009 Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award-winning journalist Dave Molinari to the show! Dave has done an incredible job covering the Pittsburgh Penguins with daily articles in the The Pittsburgh Press from 1983 through 1992 and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette from 1993 until mid-2019, and we'll chat with him about his new book, The Pittsburgh Penguins: An Illustrated Timeline published by Reedy Press. Among the topics tonight will be how Pittsburgh got an NHL team with a big assist to an NFL owner, bankrupties and the threat of the Penguins moving, the 1984 NHL Entry Draft and whether the Penguins tanked for Lemieux, the veteran superstars that former GM Craig Patrick was able to acquire, the first Winter Classic, the Crosby-era Penguins, and more! We are excited to chat with Dave as we get all the insider info from the man who followed the team for nearly 40 years tonight on The Hockey Show at 5:30pm CT on one of 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com!

If you live outside Winnipeg and want to listen, we have options! The UMFM website's streaming player works well if you want to listen online. We also recommend Radio Garden if you need an easy-to-use online stream. If you're more of an app person, we recommend you use the TuneIn app found on the App Store or Google Play Store. It's a solid app.

If you have questions, you can email all show queries and comments to hockeyshow@umfm.com! Tweet me anytime with questions you may have by hitting me up at @TeebzHBIC on Twitter! I'm here to listen to you, so make your voice heard! And because both Teebz and Jason are on the butterfly app where things are less noisy, you can find Teebz here and Jason here on Bluesky!

Tonight, Teebz and Jason chat with journalist Dave Molinari about his new book, The Pittsburgh Penguins: An Illustrated Timeline, 1967 expansion, relocation threats, superstar players, working the beat, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
